Welcome to Your Body's Temple
I have been questioned about fitness and bodybuilding frequently, which is a very good new for me, to acknowledge that the interest for the iron is still living in which I participate.
I decided to start, very slowly, a wikipage dedicated to the practice and lifestyle of bodybuilding.
My main objective is always to cleanse bodybuilding's fame, and to show people how this practice can reach levels beyond the shallow search for better aesthetics in little time. Bodybuilding, as I mentioned, is a lifestyle, that changes one's mind and soul - not only one's body.
Every time lifters strain their will to beat their load challenges, they are streching their hearts to limits never explored before, and this can lead to great knowledge and control of the self if done with the apropriate focus to the most basic of efforts, which is the resistence between your strength and a load of weight.
Of course, one can bench 300lbs and still be a jerk, as this is a free choice to the individual as well - I here want to clarify that there are many species of lifters, including mine, which consider training with heavy weights as a meditation and a path to the improvement of the individual as a whole.
And if in the mean time I can drive people's interest to the same art, all the better. So in this page I will try to present some basic pointers of both training and nutrition, based on what I have been learning in study and experience through those years.
Differences in Weight Lifting
First, trying to get rid of stereotypes here. Not every person who trains with heavy weights is a bodybuilder, though every bodybuilder essentially trains with heavy weights. Bodybuilding is only a small group inside the strength training legion.
What makes a bodybuilder differ from the other weight lifters is the objective of the greatest muscularity, this involving not only size, but also proportions and symmetry. What looks like only an aesthetical pursuit is an intense experience and proof of willpower that only the one living those chances can actually relate to. It is a very personal sport, which involves only your and your choices only, twenty four hours a day. seven days a week.
The common lifter only submits himself to this challenge about one hour a day, during the training session, but the bodybuilder's concerns go further on to both proper nutrition and enough rest.
Those two last elements transform the practice of bodybuilding in a lifestyle per se. The bodybuilder lives differently, in other words.
Difference in Levels of Dedication
Now, when I say the bodybuilder lives differently, I don't imply any kind of fanatism to the practice. There are different levels in which the practitioner becomes involved with this lifestyle.
Some people become pathologically addicted to it, some people go as far as making a competitive career out of it, while others - instead of letting their lifes spin around it - simply include the bodybuilding lifestyle (and consequently all its benefits to health, fitness, looks and character) to their habits.
In any way the involvement ensues, it permeates every level of the person's life, and if done correctly and with the right mindset, "the game of iron" can change the person entirely, and turst me I've been seeing this happen a lot with many people around me.
So, basically not every lifter is a bodybuilder. To indeed become adept to true changes, one has to not only train like a bodybuilder, but eat, sleep and control his\her character as one. The intensity of this immersion happens in different levels, and what I davise people is to take it lightly, never too seriously. The density of my writing fails to betray how this practive should be truly treated; it should be taken like a good friend, in my case even as a good lover, not as a bother or intimidating stranger.
Further I will write a little about the three principles of the lifestyle of bodybuilding. Training, Nutrition and Rest.
